This is an exciting collection of scenes from the most acclaimed and award-winning playwrights of the 1990s. It contains over 40 two-character scenes (for men/men and men/women), with the selection of scenes encompassing the widest range of styles from serious to comic and shades in between. A fuller appreciation of the dramatic context of the scenes is enhanced by the editors' introductions and commentaries. Each of the scenes offers the actor the opportunity to develop and explore the vital, dynamic and unique challenge of working with a partner on stage.
